Last week, at the annual business meeting of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, there was the oddest presentation at their Tuesday morning session. Maggie Smith and Karen Terry from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York were giving an update on a long-awaited "causes and context" study of sexual abuse by priests. The USCCB contributed $1 million to fund it and an additional...

Thus begins a journey that contrasts the naïve debutantes and would-be debonair beaux of the London Season of 1968 with their surprisingly altered (or not) selves 40 years later. Reached...

. JA from MNPP here, taking us on a journey into the Mythical land of Perseus and his bros. (Or is it Brahs? I can never keep my frat-boy-speak up to date.) Anyway I assume by now we all have witnessed the thigh-thundering glory that is the trailer for the remake of Clash of the Titans ? If not, ye shall behold! . . I took some big pretty screen-grabs over at MNPP if you're interested (with special...

I’m not sure what can be said about Clash of the Titans except that it’s a remake and that it looks to be chock full of sandals, special effects and action. I don’t know too much about the original except that it came out in 1981, had an amazing cast ( Laurence Olivier , Maggie Smith , Burgess Meredith ) and used stop motion animation to create what looks to be a beautiful film....

Clash of the Titans--the 1981 Geek mythology fantasy starring Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier and Maggie Smith, with memorable (if anachronistic) f/x from stop-motion animation master Ray Harryhausen–boasts a pretty hefty fan following, especially among Gen Xers for whom the movie is a geek pop touchstone.

(Some of the old promotional posters for Clash Of The Titans 1981. Note, people, the presence of a much younger Dame Maggie Smith as Thetis , way before she became known to many as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter films ). Hey, it seems that Hollywood's at it again. They did the Perseus myth once before in Clash Of The Titans 1981 ; now, they're remaking it for 2010 . Among other tales,...

During her long career, Maggie Smith has been many things to her fans. Electrifying as a charismatic schoolmistress in her best actress Oscar-winning role in "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie." Hilarious as the vain actress with a bisexual (at best) husband in "California Suite." Heartbreaking as a middle-aged Irish spinster in "The Lonely Passion of Judith Hearne."
